Temptation of the Month

Our magazine is all about the people of our ethically non-monogamous lifestyle. We love portraying how incredibly “normal” and every day our poly friends and swinger friends are. You may be able to help us with that… and have some fun in the process.

Few people will have an opportunity to be featured in a magazine… even fewer CAN be featured in a magazine about Ethical Non-Monogamy that is publicly published and open to being read by anyone. If you are “out” to your family and friends… and not concerned about privacy concerns in regard to your non-monogamous status and stories, we would LOVE to talk to you and feature YOU as one of our Temptations.

Being a Temptation for ENM Magazine is more than just being a pretty face. It is about being an advocate of ENM, and being someone who is an example of what being Ethical in your non-monogamy, and your principles…

The Process…

To be considered as a Temptation of the Month we need you to fill out an application. Please treat this as any other application… whether or not you will be chosen will largely depend on your responses to key questions. We give priority to those we think are the best examples of what we consider ambassadors of ENM.

When you are approved, we will reach out to you to schedule an interview and possibly a photo session. We will likely also ask you for candid photos to add to your article.

We will also ask you to sign an online release… this release gives us permission to publish images of you, as well as your story. This is a requisite part of the process that you must complete in order to be considered as a Temptation.

One of our best writers will reach out to you for an interview… they will chat with you for about an hour… and will expertly craft your stories into one cohesive story… once they have written your story we will give you an opportunity to review it and make any corrections before it is then sent to an editor… and then on to layout.

Once your article is published, and that issue printed… we will send you a complimentary copy of the magazine. If you want additional copies you will need to get them at cost during the pre-order window. Under agreement with our photographers we will also ensure that you get digital copies of all photos that are edited for publish. (they may offer to sell you additional photo downloads or higher resolution images at cost)

The fine print….
As a magazine that is produced as a philanthropic endeavor… we do not have a budget to pay models or photographers. We are grateful to those who help us produce this magazine, and we’re happy to offer you a complimentary copy of the magazine thanks to what little advertising revenue we’re able to pull in… those who are the happiest with their experience in being featured in the magazine are doing it for the sake of being a part of this endeavor, and for the experience itself.

Physical Attributes

We are a sex positive and body positive publication. We love to feature diversity in race, gender, sexuality and body type. That said, we tend to type cast for certain articles, and situations, and prefer to have an idea of your physical presentation. We also may need to help with costume or props, so it helps us to know what you look like.
Prior modeling experience is not a requirement
While we are body positive and sex positive, physical appearance is still a small part of our decision. That and we like to see who we are working with
We embrace body positivity and diversity! We do not choose models based on body type, but we do want to see acceptance and presence. Not everyone has the camera presence to be photographed for a Temptation shoot... but it is good for all of us to know what we're going into ahead of time.
We ask this question for a couple of reasons... one we're looking for what parts of your body we will need to be concerned with when we're shooting. Its good for us to know this ahead of time. Two - We're looking to see what your acceptance level is, if you're overly critical of your body, this may not be a good situation for you to be in.
We want to know what part of your body you have the most confidence in. It will give us a place to focus on, to help get you going.
In the day and age of colored contacts, you never really know. Sometimes we get into post processing, and can't recall if you have blue or green eyes...and lighting can make it tricky to determine. Getting this question answered early has saved ourselves a lot of trouble in post processing more than once.
You may select more than one option
